snorkel guys .. need your input
I live in dusty AZ and the aev raised intake with precleaner
My question is did it cause a lot of wind noise on highways? How much does it block your view?
Anybody regret doing it? Its a one way street and im keeping the truck long term, but want to make sure i factor everything in.
Thanks

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
I have the Ram Air, and surprisingly, ZERO noise. Like it's not even there. It also does not block your view unless you lean forward and look to your right. It might, in that case, hide a pedestrian. It is a little noticeable, but more like a black blob that wasn't there before. But not view blocking in any way. It fits that pillar very tightly. But otherwise, AEV designed a perfect product.

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
I have one on a 3G. The wind noise is a little more. Looking in that direction. The pillar looks thicker. Scraping snow and ice off the windshield takes a little more time. Because you have to pull it to the side, then down.

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
Perfect would have moved the air filter so we could mount a second battery in the same location as the diesel trucks.

It really wouldnt be that difficult but probably just too small a market...

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
Yeah, again zero impact. No improvement, not decrease. Mostly looks. I extended my breathers and taped it up.
Re: snorkel guys .. need your input

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
Understandable... but is it really any cleaner a few feet higher?

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
Probably not that much although it does make a small impact...
Im more interested in the prefilter....
the cyclonic precleaner appears to work really well.. there are videos on youtube showing how much dust that thing can spin out

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
As opposed to the intake in the inner fender? I have to think the snorkel air path would have less dirt in it assuming you aren't driving through a Haboob.

Re: snorkel guys .. need your input
I actually have noticed I have to clean the filterless, especially since I made sure it's all sealed.
I would imagine if you keep the stock unit and use the pre-filter it should stay cleaner. Interesting observation, you can hear the intake sucking from outside the vehicle if you stand by it when it's idle.
